When I thinking about Islam I think of God as a harsh task master. The threat of hell fire is always above my head? When I read the Koran i feel no comfort only coldness, I cannot be friends with Jews or Christians it says. In contrast the New testament i found to be full of forgiveness, plentiful in understadning iof what human beings are - the idea of forgiveness, just for being willing to be good was a great feeling. I want to be a good man - and I feel that the best man who ever lived was Jesus'. No where in Islam can you find Love your neighbour as yourself - and who is your neighbour, your enemy, those who persecute you - that is why i still love Muslims - i just find no comfort in the religion.

But was i right? i have my doubts? i have always been told i would be thrown into hell fire if i left - and although those are the ideas i am trying to get away from - the notion still lingers with me. Am i right to have done this?

Keep in mind:
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

AND

LUKE 17: 20 - 21 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Clearly these verses contradict themself so which one is true and which one is a lie? Remember Jesus said BOTH!

I have often wondered looking at several paintings of Jesus Christ that he doesnt resemble the heritage he was born around?

Some Muslim leaders have states that each time the Koran mentions jihad, it is simply one's struggle with themselves, not an external struggle with non-Muslims.

Which is true?

With father dead, he came to earth. Darkness, sorrows, through his birth.
In years of 6 or more or less, his mother passed, his family trashed.
To foster him, Halimah went, with fright and scares her life resent.
For soon, she saw his demon trances, pain, writhing and evil prances.

Soon he grew to mete out terror, lies and looting in murderous fervor.
Sharing his sins his people grew, as darkness fell and demons flew.
As allah speaks in visions he claims, only for him to loosen his chains.
For all but him can have but 4, women he damned unworthy and sore.

Wife of son he stole and raped, infant child he copulate
For all is damned the way he set, sins and curses and shames beset.
God forbid, he claimed he’d seen, as demons wallowed in his sins.
Can prophets come where sins replete, and evil triumph to take the seat.

As death to him, a slave bestowed in poisoned meat that she had stewed.
Now dead and rotting in his grave, an evil book doth sings his praise. (cont'd).

I am a christain and I got saved years ago. I dont attend church regularly but I do my best to read God's word and to live an honest and upright life. Where I can I help those who need spiritual uplifting. I have always believed and nothing has ever made me stop believing in the power of God.

However this past week I have found myself very depressed because even though I pray, and try my best to do his will, and pray for him to show me how to do his will, it seems my prayers and faith in God has all been in vain. I have been looking for a job for years now but I can't get one. Its not as if I sit around hoping a job will pop up. I've continued studying trying to further myself and I've tried starting my own small business but it seems nothing ever works out. there are so many things wrong in my life I could go on and on. Its not like I dont appreciate the good things, I'm not saying its all bad. I am just tired, and I wonder if at all God is even there! I'm tried!!

... I am soo sick of hearing people say that Jesus wasn't the son of God just a good man and a prophet. Look either he was what he says he was, "the son of God", or he was a lunitic and a liar. I mean who would have gone through what he did if he wasn't who he said he was? He would of had to been crazy. So quit taking the easy way out and saying "that Jesus was just a good guy and not the son of God". As far as my stance goes I belive he was exactly what he said he was. He came here to die for our sins that we may have life eternal in hevan. I welcome your opinon on the matter. I only ask you be respectful wether you belive or not.

A quote from their teachings :

"The unbelievers of the People of the Book
and the idolaters shall be in the Fire of Hell
therein dwelling for ever;
those are the worst of creatures.
But those who believe, (Islam ) and do righteous deeds.
those are the best of creatures..."
( XCVIII: The Clear Sign: 5 )


You decide!

Why does God do this and why does God do that. Maybe He put the universal laws and truth in place and the rest is up to us.

declared evil and adulterous generation and 41% of christian population of america is result of adultry. One million women rapped in usa every year. Inspite this evil and adulterous generation criticises islam which gives respectable place to women. O Christians do not you ponder?

Mathew 16:4
An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of Jonah. And he left them, and departed.

They say psychics are not real. They are evil.
The bible says to stay away from psychics so doens't that mean that there actually are psychics? Also there is SO MUCH PROPHECY in the bible and some church people claim to have this as a gift well then which is it? Evil or not? Don't christians need to realize that saying it's not true they contradict the bible?

Do some of us just not get chosen by any gods?

If a god/goddess really want you to be one of their own, (if they are really more powerful than any human) they would make them self known to you personally, not through human media, right?

So the most powerful Gods/Goddess are those who's followers never tries to convert others.

Why do we need to submit to any god/goddess anyway, why would they want a bunch of slaves or worshippers can't we just befriend all the gods?
